Advising

Our goal is to provide the support you need to make a smooth transition into our degree,
discover your untapped talent, and graduate with the skills and knowledge you will
need to pursue your dreams.

Current Undergraduate & Graduate Students:

When you have a question, check in with our HSPM staff for direction on who to contact
to set up an appointment.

New Undergraduate Students:

To get started, check in with our HSPM staff for direction on who to contact to set up an appointment. At that meeting you'll
get details about the program along with information to facilitate progress to graduation.
You will also be given contact information for the faculty member who will serve as
your academic advisor throughout your studies. Whether you are transferring from another
SJSU major, another College, or you're just beginning your studies here at SJSU, we
will guide and assist you in achieving your goals.

Student Preparation for Advising Meetings:

(Appointment will be re-scheduled if materials are not present)

PRINTED copy of course history page or unofficial transcript from your MySJSU page. Note: Bring copies of all course work completed outside of SJSU that you want considered
for use in HSPM or declared minor.

Advising document for your declared major filled in with the HSPM courses with the
semester and grade noted on the form. Using the academic calendar at the end of the
document to project your future courses. Note:It is your responsibility, not your advisors to keep track of your progress toward
your degree.

Advisors will verify your path to degree completion once you provide the materials
above.

HSPM Advisors are available to meet with students during the Fall and Spring semesters
prior to final exam week.

Students who fail to schedule an appointment during the academic year will need to
re-schedule an appointment for the next regular term.

All tracking of general education units (freshman/sophomore) and SJSU Studies (Area
R, S, & V) are the responsibility of the student.

It is the students' responsibility to make advising appointments with the staff of
the Academic Advising & Retention Services for GE Advising. They are located in the Student Services Center on 9 th and San Fernando. Note: HSPM advisors are not responsible for GE advising or approving of GE coursework completion.

The advising hub is another useful link and is “the place” for useful information as you navigate
your academic journey during your time at SJSU.
